Let us consider the following example (from Seaborn documentation):
titanic = sns.load_dataset("titanic")
fg = sns.catplot(x="age", y="embark_town",
hue="sex", row="class",
data=titanic[titanic.embark_town.notnull()],
orient="h", height=2, aspect=3, palette="Set3",
kind="violin", dodge=True, cut=0, bw=.2)
Output:
I want to change the tick labels on the y axis, for example by prepending a number in parenthesis: (1) Southampton, (2) Cherbourg, (3) Queenstown. I have seen this answer, and I have tried to use a FuncFormatter
, but I obtain a strange result. Here is my code:
titanic = sns.load_dataset("titanic")
fg = sns.catplot(x="age", y="embark_town",
hue="sex", row="class",
data=titanic[titanic.embark_town.notnull()],
orient="h", height=2, aspect=3, palette="Set3",
kind="violin", dodge=True, cut=0, bw=.2)
from matplotlib.ticker import FuncFormatter
for ax in fg.axes.flat:
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(ticker.FuncFormatter(lambda x, pos: f'({1 + pos}) {x}'))
And here is the output:
It looks like x
is the same as pos
in the lambda
. I was expecting x
to be the value of the tick label (i.e. Southampton, Cherbourg, Queenstown). What am I doing wrong?
